Recently, mobile users, especially iPhone owners, received the latest version update of Youtube on their phones, enabling them to live stream Youtube videos on their iPhones. This feature is quite similar to Facebook live streaming, but on Youtube, you can earn money through the content you stream. Of course, the videos streamed live on Youtube from an iPhone should not infringe on any copyrights.
Allowing live streaming of Youtube videos on iPhones will enhance user accessibility to Youtube. Additionally, this move by Google serves as a response to Facebook, as they are gradually losing ground to Facebook in this lucrative market.

- The account must be at least 1 month old and verified through a phone.
- The account must not violate any policies within the last 90 days.
- Streaming copyrighted content, including videos, news, movies, and music, will result in immediate removal.
